Hi friends! Join me at the Contemporary Craft Museum in the new Timmons Studio for a fun-filled morning learning to eco-print with fall leaves!
In this workshop, we will capture the autumnal season by exploring the art of eco-printing, where the natural shapes of leaves and flowers are permanently transferred onto fabric through a process of bundling and steaming. We will cover various eco-printing techniques, focusing on a method that combines tannin-soaked fabric and an iron blanket to create rich, moody greys and the negative shapes of leaves. You will learn how to properly prepare fabric and use a special technique to achieve clear, crisp prints.
Your one-of-a-kind design will be created on an 18”, organic cotton bandana – the perfect fall accessory. At the end of the workshop, you will receive a project packet that includes details about the eco-printing process, along with resources to help you replicate this method at home.
All materials will be provided; however, if you would like to bring your own leaves or other plant matter, please feel free to do so!
This workshop is open to all skill levels – no prior experience is needed!
I look forward to seeing you soon!
